Su Huihui has never been in the habit of making plans with pen and paper for herself, once a certain thought appears in her mind, after thinking about it, she will work hard to do it, and those filtered out thoughts will be forgotten. It's hard to predict what the future will be like with such a character, and in the final analysis, it's just laziness from the heart.

When she thought of her relatives she had never met, she had an indescribable special feeling, even if she only knew a name, she would feel a lot more comfortable. She didn't want to be so lonely.

The news of the martyrdom of Wang Huai, the governor of Fuzhou, spread in Gyeonggi as swift as cholera, but it was redirected all the way south to Nam An Province.

As a result, the governor of Nan'an temporarily inspected the counties under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou on the way back to Beijing, and learned that Wang Zhizhou was very greedy, and the materials and silver money distributed by the imperial court were exploited layer by layer, thus pulling out a long-term line of corruption throughout the Southern Qi Dynasty. Before Wang Huai's Nanmu coffin left Fuzhou, he returned to the capital with a thin leather box that was not lacquered tung oil, and pushed it to the court staff on the east side of the imperial road in front of the noon gate, and then was pulled to the west market to be cut in two, and his family was exiled to the western frontier.

This qiē happened in just four days.

Ye Gong got the news, his heart was full of joy and turned into sweating, and he changed four horses in one day to chase Ling Jieyu's team to Yingzhou.

On a dark and windy night, there was only an unguarded sedan chair parked in the forest, and a horse was stationed.

The figure kneeling in front of the car trembled in the wind, and repeated:

"Please let go of the lower official, the lower official, I ......"

In the end, I couldn't say anything more. Looking at the gloomy branches in the forest, the expression in his eyes changed from fear to dazedness, and his two beards drooped down on his pale lips, also trembling slightly.

There was a deathly silence in the car for a few quarters of an hour, and finally, the curtain of the car was flipped over, and a hand was stretched out.

The clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone into the depths of the forest, raising a faint smoke and obscuring light and shadow. The indigo sedan curtain was moon white at this time, and the hand, which was also white and colorless.

Ye Gong looked up in a daze, and saw that the hand was exposed to the air inch by inch from the fingertips to the delicate wrist bones, then a piece of brown sleeves, then a placket printed with flowing moire, then a chin with just the right curvature, and finally a ...... Unfamiliar faces.

Ye Gongzhi shuddered and subconsciously got up.

Ye Gongzhi didn't know him, this person didn't seem to know Ye Gongzhi, and looked at him from head to toe, as if there was a dead thing in front of him.

Ye Gong asked stubbornly, "...... Who are you?"

The man's snow-like fingers bent up under the moon, rested lightly on his chin, and then lowered it again, and he staggered back a step back at this action.

"Is the county order okay?" the man smiled gently, "The county order is not good?"

Ye Gongzhi opened his mouth, and a sentence stuck in his throat.

He sighed again: "It's not good to be down there, I got in on an errand temporarily, and I really have a grudge in my heart." The same is true of the prefectural order, right?"

Ye Gongzhi's back was attached to the cold and hard bark, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the person a few feet away. He stood in the misty poplar forest, a withered yellow leaf above his head reflecting the shadow of the moon like flowing water, like a translucent blade, falling leisurely between his brows, in front of him, and at his feet.

"Don't be nervous about the county order, can you let Xia and the county order understand?"

Where did Ye Gongzhi dare to say half a word, hissing and inhaling the cool air, sweating profusely.

The man's eyebrows were slightly raised, contrasting with the smile that bloomed at the corner of his lips, soft as the shallow sandalwood in the niche.

"I am not a person in the middle, so I don't know much, I only know the value of generation after generation. Today, Fang entered the territory of Yingzhou, the boat and car were tired, but the moonlight forest scenery was very good, it was really refreshing. The tea bought by the county order is indeed more expensive, and if you don't want to go, it is better to send another box of the county order, so that the county order can taste it slowly, and there is no need to worry. ”

Ye Gong regretted that he shouldn't have handed over the evidence to the governor of Shangjing for a moment of brain fever, and Ling Jieyu didn't say a few words from beginning to end, but told him to believe that he was a faction in the south, even if it was Wang Huai, who had already crossed the river, I am afraid that he would be planted in that inexplicable smile like him. As soon as he pulled his whole body, he suddenly realized that no matter what he did, the results would not get better.

The smile in front of him was the same as at that time, Ye Gongzhi was timid, but he was meticulous in his observation and distinguished the two very clearly. There are many people who are officials, as this person said, Ye Gongzhi feels that he really doesn't look like an official.

He didn't have time to think about it, the long robe in front of him crossed the wind, the wide sleeves fluttered, and the voice like the May wind said slowly:

"Don't worry, the county order is only for now, just thank you to Lord Wang for us. ”

Ye Gongzhi didn't have time to react, and then felt a chill in his heart.

He looked down and saw a jet-black dagger suddenly appear on his chest. I don't know when a tea caddy was placed under his feet, with a blue and white background, no lid, and the buds and leaves inside were glowing with elegant lilac in the bright knife light at that moment.

His mind became extremely clear at the last moment, and he recognized that this was the Nan'an Jiaming that he had ordered someone to buy, and that he should have hidden in the bedroom of the Zhixian mansion a hundred miles away at this time.

The sound of the trees rolling over the waves.

The man glanced at the blood gushing from the corpse, stood still for a moment, turned his back and stared at the moon hook that was sinking in the sky.

When he turned around, all that was left on the ground was the crushed weeds, and a dark brown between the roots.

Under the tree stood Jin Wuwei, who was wearing a long knife, bowed down and said in fear:

"The villain is dead, and the son doesn't have to do it himself. ”

Yan Xugui's face was still as calm as water, and his voice had a hint of impatience:

"You go and sue him, don't trouble me with this kind of thing in the future. ”

Jin Wuwei chattered, please go back to the sedan chair.

Yan Xugui took a step forward, frowned and looked at the guards, and finally turned to the warm sedan chair with four people standing on the top. He raised his hand with his back to Jin Wuwei and flew out of a money bag, Jin Wuwei got the signal and ordered to settle the county order family.

The news that Ye Gongzhi of Zou Yuanzhi County committed suicide because of corruption reached Su Huihui's ears, and it was already the summer season.

She and Chen Hua returned to Fanjing, where cholera across the country relied on the effective protective measures of the imperial court to quell it, burning and burying it, and the temperature of midsummer faded every corner of the city, and you could feel the coolness of your eyelids in the blink of an eye.

Su Huihui couldn't stand the rain and humidity before, but now he can't avoid the summer heat and stays in the pharmacy every day to take a cold shower. After suffering a few colds, she secretly asked Ruixiang to buy a few buckets of ice and put them in the room, the farming was busy, and there were many fewer patients in the pharmacy.

As soon as Chen Hua and the other affairs in the house came to an end, he took her to run around and play all over the capital. Su Huihui was not used to remembering the way, so he only followed her, and he had been to the side gate of the Duanyang Hou Mansion a few times. Chen Hua said that Hou Ye was not in good health, and she played chess and drank with her father every day, and her spirit was good. Her father is a fellow villager of Hou Ye, and he had saved his life in an assassination before, and Hou Ye treated him differently from others.

When she talked about Duanyang Houfu, Su Hui listened with bated breath, for fear of missing a point. Five years have passed since the Empress Dowager Xiaohui Bintian, and she passed away after only ten years of practicing Zuo today. Duanyang Hou Mansion was built in Linhui three years, the then queen Yan Sui was born in the city, Emperor Zhao promoted her to the middle palace, but there were many disputes in the court, so he decreed that the uncle of the country was promoted to Duanyang Hou. Yan's original business was not very big, since the family had a queen, it can be said that the wealth is rolling, so far to the son of a total of three generations, in addition to the restaurant teahouse, Yinzhuang cloth workshop, but also in charge of a part of the salt selling rights. Su Huihui knew that in the previous dynasties, including the Liang State, the salt and iron were firmly in the hands of the government, and the one who was in charge of it was forbidden to his family, and the Dutian family had to do it.

Presumably, the officials and people of Qi are very strong in their hearts.

The relationship between the royal family and the Yan family is really good.

It seems that Qi Ming told her that it is not impossible for even Bai Aya's □□ to buy it from the Hou Mansion at a low price.

Su Huihui thought about it irrepressibly, thinking that it was better to live her little life in the pharmacy.

On this day, Chen Hua came to the south of the city early and told her that Yan Gongzi wanted to take the time to meet the newly appointed deputy envoy of the pharmacy, along with the experienced old doctor Fang.

When Su Huihui heard this, he dragged Chen Hua for a long time and asked her to accompany her throughout the whole process, and the three of them took a carriage for about an hour, and after entering Beicheng, the road was blocked several times, and they arrived at their destination at noon.

Su Huihui got out of the car and took a look, but it was Mo Ciju's guise fluttering high, and the stalls selling jewelry and candy people were lined up. She said to Chen Hua:

"I heard that the merchants were all in the wine shop, and I thought that since he was a son of the world, he should follow the rules of being an official......"

Chen Hua couldn't bear it: "You want to say that you don't recognize the road and don't want to admit it, after walking for so long, I see that you have lifted the curtain several times, it turns out that you are looking at the sky." ”

Su Huihui dragged her into the door again.

A guy had already greeted him and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, please go up to the private room on the second floor with the small one." ”

Su Huihui let the old man walk in front and Chen Hua behind, creating a safe atmosphere. Passing by the window where she sat last time eating, Su Huihui had an ominous premonition that she would not be able to eat.

Fang Yi walked for a long time, took a breath and turned back and said, "Doctor Su, hurry up!"

Su Huihui's hand moved away from the brand-new plum blossom bamboo flower cover, and let out a small "oh" sound.

Chen Hua saw some clues, clapped his hands and smiled and asked, "Is it good-looking?" I asked my son to move in and give you a deposit?"

Su Huihui didn't speak, the door panel that opened and closed silently slowly opened, and a shadow of a distant sitting was cut out behind the plain screen.

She walked into the private room, and the room was well lit, making the wood color of the tables and chairs brighter and brighter, and a clump of jasmine flowers blooming by the window, like fresh snow from an iceberg in summer.

She followed Fang Yi and Chen Hua to salute. The unfamiliar greetings slipped past her ears, like the dew dripping from pine needles on a rocky stream, the clearer and more pleasant, and she was immediately comfortable to hear. But when he noticed the gaze passing by the other side of the table, the little goodwill that had just been born immediately disappeared.

Su Huihui put his expression in the most natural, and while sitting down, he raised his eyes to look directly at the Yan Gongzi who had made a lot of money with her from the beginning. She glanced at it, then lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.

Su Huihui affirmed her ability to discern unprecedentedly, and she would definitely be able to recognize this person next time.

Yan Xigui invited Doctor Fang to sit down and fulfilled the etiquette of the juniors. Su Huihui didn't think he was a humble person, because he hadn't looked at the two juniors since he entered the door.

He turned his face sideways, the smile on his lips was reflected in the small white jasmine, and his eyelashes were like birds gathering feathers, and they stopped quietly.

The fragrance of the secluded rank sent a trace of elegance into the celadon bowl, rippling and sparkling, and his gaze rested in this small pond, filtered clear and clear by the amber liquid.

Su Hui turned the teacup boredly, and hurriedly stopped after half a circle.

Fang Yi paused, and said, "Is it inappropriate for the son to be like this, it's too tormenting to the old and decrepit......

Yan Xugui flicked off the half of the crystal flower on his sleeve with his fingers, and replaced the thin-mouthed long-necked bottle in the center of the round table with a small flower pot with one hand, and then looked over and said leisurely:

"I want to come to the deputy envoy to love flowers and plants. ”

Su Hui was speechless for a moment. She was staring at the pot of flowers too intently.

His body was shrouded in a layer of clouds, and his snow-colored dark clothes were faintly floating in the sun, which was extremely low-key and noble. The well-proportioned knuckles half-hidden under the clothes are sandwiched with turquoise porcelain, which shows the delicacy of the twelve, and the halo in the eyes is dyed with the vast river, and the light turns green and green inadvertently.

The face was soaked in a trickle of light sifting through the panes, the outline was like a carving, and the face became more and more clear.

Yan Xugui said: "Since the deputy envoy loves Jingshan Jinhua, then he is also happy to see the crane in Lianfu?"

Lotus and Crane, Su Huihui immediately confirmed who gave the flower cover in her room, but she was not sure if he was the one who made her unable to eat, although it was a glimpse, she really didn't remember the specific appearance of that person outside the mask.

She suddenly complained about the discernment she had just praised, why couldn't she pay more attention to it?

Yan Xugui said: "The old gentleman has been in the pharmacy for many years, how can Yan not fulfill Mr. Xuan's hard work?"

Fang Yi still thought about it for a long time, he had been used to a hard life for many years, and he didn't think it was bad in the end, but there were other young people in the pharmacy, and they still had a long way to go.

"What does the deputy think?"

Su Huihui wasn't listening at all just now, where did he know what he said, and he just opened his mouth:

"Childe is an insider, so it naturally makes sense. ”

Yan Xugui lowered his head and shook the tea in the cup, the corners of his mouth curved, and said:

Dr. Su listened carefully, and Yan didn't say much. What does the doctor think?"

Su Huihui stared straight at him, and said dryly: "As long as Mr. Fang agrees, follow the son's will." ”

"After all, Doctor Su is the deputy envoy of the pharmacy, even if he doesn't have a palm print, Yan can't be persecuted. ”

Su warmed his teeth: "In this way, the ambassador's son must have ventilated, I have no other opinions, but General Rong should have told the prince about my conditions when he first came." ”

Yan Xugui's tone remained unchanged, and he said casually: "Doctor Su is so face-saving. ”

Su Huihui also thought so, and the shame came down to Rong Jianchi's easier to speak.

He stopped teasing her, knocked on the table and said, "Yan's contribution, the pharmacy is out." The farther the hospital and the pharmacy are connected, the more medicinal materials cannot be distributed, and the pharmacy relies on the diagnosis and treatment of patients in cloth clothes to make money, and most of the medicines are cheap, and it is estimated that it is difficult to make a living. His words were straightforward, and when he said this, his gaze only rested on the old man's weather-beaten face, "The Yan family is willing to pay five hundred taels of principal to buy medicinal materials, as long as the dosage is carefully examined, and the money won can be gradually collected to make up for the fee." ”

Su Huihui didn't know how to do business at all, but fortunately he said it simply, that is, to help them buy goods, and they were responsible for raising their reputation and ability to accumulate wealth on a broad basis.

"Does Young Master Yan think too highly of us?"

Yan Xugui smiled: "Doctor Su has such a big face, does he still care about Yan Moujie's businessman?"

Su Hui said: "Why bother the son with a principal?"

It sounds simple and desirable, I don't know how many twists and turns there are in the middle, just the dosage is fine, she needs to be extra considerate, the range of the realm is too large, and I don't know when it will gradually close. Originally, it was a very easy-to-understand concept of support, not counting the sky-high price of five hundred taels of circulation, but as soon as he explained it, even extreme laymen like Su Huihui could not hear it right. She thought to herself that this Yan Shizi didn't seem to be a person who had never done business, why did he make people uncomfortable as soon as she opened her mouth, and she thought of the many disasters of her relatives since ancient times, and her eyes unconsciously became more clear.

Yan Xugui finally showed a little helplessness: "Yan was entrusted by someone, and the words just now were also moved out as they were, and Doctor Su wanted to ask thoroughly, and he should accompany him in the next decision." ”

So Su Hui was accompanied on the chair for two hours.

When she came out, the sun was already turning to the west. She didn't have a good impression of Yan before, but now her feelings are much more complicated.

Yan has the ability to say something unfamiliar to you that you are happy to do and think you are capable of doing, and he is essentially no more responsible for it than a straw. He didn't say much, but every sentence was loud, and Su Huihui listened with great interest while despising him for hypocrisy.

The person who asked Yan Xugui to talk to them like this must be more hypocritical, if there really is such a person.

Chen Hua and Yan Xugui returned to the house together, Su Hui walked into the door of the pharmacy Xinqi in front of Doctor Fang, and as soon as she finished agreeing, she was shocked to find that she had been introduced to the way that the other party wanted. She didn't expect Doctor Chen, who belonged to the Yan Mansion, Fang Yi was old, and it was easy to be fooled after many considerations, and he was so stunned that Su Huihui agreed to his face. In fact, she mainly believes in his experience, and he always thinks for everyone.

Su Huihui turned around nervously in the hall where the incense was offered, and Fang Yi stroked his white beard and smiled slightly:

"Doctor Su, you don't have to be so upset. I also know that that Yan Gongzi is not a good man, but he can help us ordinary people after all, and we will have to rely on the deputy envoy more than him in the future. ”

She was silent for a long time, humming softly, and a long-lost warmth filled her heart.
